"In 24 SEC games between the two teams, Auburn has won 12, Arkansas has won 11 and there has been one tie. The Auburn teams that beat Arkansas had a combined record of 119-30-1. The Auburn teams that did not beat Arkansas had a combined record of 79-66-1."

What we know is when Auburn is good to great arkie can't hang. When Auburn is average to bad arkie has a shot. Thankfully for arkie Auburn is historically a roller coaster.

Unlike other Auburn fans I am not sold on this team mainly because I do not trust the O. My confidence is growing and I would say arkie which I consider to be a strong 7-8 win SEC type team to be the litmus test. I do believe we match up favorably against arkie. However, I also believe arkie has the better QB and in modern football that means a whole lot. We will see this Saturday. I believe a win for Auburn will mean this team has a 9-10 win potential, a loss will mean this team is exactly what I thought it was all season 7-8 wins. Truth be told neither overly excite me. 7-8 wins mean no more or less than 9-10 wins to me if a title isn't involved.

Now getting to the Iron Bowl with a chance to steal the west would be very Auburn of us.

You finished last in the West last year with the same QB you have this year. Bama looks unstoppable. A&M has taken a big step forward in their running game and defense. And we're the ones out of touch with reality? ?

The difference between goals and expectations is your LSU-like level of fan delusion. You guys were ready to fire Gus just a few games into the season and now you "expect to win a championship"?

We went 13-0 in 2004 after Jetgate. Don't you ever, ever.. ever, ever, ever underestimate our unpredictability. Since you speak of LSU and delusion, I must point out that they do know what a championship feels like, unlike Arkansas fans. The difference between LSU, AU and Arkansas is that LSU/AU have won big and has the talent to do it again in any given year.

Series record against Auburn is 13-11-1 (Auburn), soon to be 13-12-1. Guess y'all haven't met your expectations quite a bit.

You're right. We expect to beat Arkansas every year.

Ditto Auburn has never ever been a tough game for us and we basically count it as a win. I even remember all the bs when we started in the early SEC years for us. Aubby ranked number 4 night game at Aubby on halloween and your fans talking so much crap how great and tough you were blah blah blah. I think the game was 28-0 at half all hogs. When we've sucked you've won when we were good we won more than our fair share. Never seen a team so pumped about whooping ASU and MSU and pre O LSU but hey yall are very scary...
